American Vandal' Season 2 is in the works if you're already obsessed. On paper, Netflix's American Vandal sounds like a Funny or Die skit that would be amusing for about seven minutes before the joke wore out its welcome. Full disclosure: I almost dismissed it for precisely that reason, before sitting down to watch the season when Netflix made it available for review. The show is described by the streaming service as "a half- hour true- crime satire that explores the aftermath of a costly high school prank that left twenty- seven faculty cars vandalized with phallic images." And, like any good mystery, the show hinges on our interest in answering one simple question: "Who drew the dicks?"The premise might seem juvenile — and rest assured, the show sure doesn't skimp on the dick jokes — but it doesn't take long for American Vandal to hook you, mostly by committing to its premise just as sincerely as the true- crime documentaries it's parodying, despite being populated by a cast of believably dorky, insecure, sex- obsessed high schoolers. It's as if the all- knowing Netflix algorithm stuck Making a Murderer and 1. Reasons Why into a blender and added a shot of Trailer Park Boys.
The result is unexpectedly engrossing, infuriatingly addictive, and remarkably self- assured. SEE ALSO: Don't watch superhero shows? Netflix knows how to change that. It would've been easy for co- creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault to phone this in and settle for creating the Scary Movie version of a true- crime parody, but every script and actor embraces the verisimilitude of what they've built here — the stakes might not be life or death, but this prank still has real- world consequences for the kid, Dylan Maxwell (Jimmy Tatro), accused of the crime; and its teenage documentarians, Peter (Tyler Alvarez) and Sam (Griffin Gluck), treat the subject with the weight it deserves, even when their nerdy AV project goes viral."There aren't many characters on the show who are funny in their own right; it's mostly fairly believable kids in a ridiculous situation," Perrault tells Mashable. We hope and strive for the humor to come from the seriousness with which these kids take the case."Below, Yacenda and Perrault discuss the inspiration behind American Vandal, their unusual shooting process, and their plans for Season 2. There will be vague discussion of the Season 1 ending, but we'll do you a solid and give you a warning before we get into spoiler territory.
Image: netflix. True- crime stories have been a trend for a few years now — was there one particular project that inspired American Vandal, or was it a cumulative thing? Perrault: Yeah, I guess Making a Murderer was the one that really made me realize that this was a trend, because we had Serial, which we were both fans of, as well as The Jinx, which I believe followed that just after. By the time Making a Murderer came around, it really looked like the genre had made a huge comeback. So that's when we really took notice and started to talk about doing something on it. Yacenda: Yeah. I had been a fan. I remember watching Thin Blue Line in film school and that just really sticking with me.
So it's something that I had been interested in for a long time. Watch The Neverending Story Hindi Full Movie here. But it wasn't until Dan saw Making a Murderer and said to me we should really do something with true crime, 'cause we love parody and we love documentaries too. We did that series of 3. Rocky 4; 3. 0 for 3. Space Jam, where we took stuff very seriously, because we love sports documentaries too.
And it just seemed like this was such a fertile playground to play in. Netflix is obviously an ideal home for this after the success of Making a Murderer and The Keepers. Did you conceive it with the binge model in mind?
Because it feels like it could've held up to a weekly release structure just as easily. Perrault: I think more [important] was figuring out a place where we could really have the freedom to make the show we wanted to make. Showtime Full Grey Lady Online Free. On a very literal level, if we took this to cable, there's only so much we could do with penis graffiti.
For obvious reasons, I think it's a tough show for network or cable TV. Streaming made sense. Netflix made a lot of sense.
They gave us a lot of freedom. The fact that they were known for these true- crime hits that they've been rolling out was an added bonus. Image: netflix. I’ll admit, when I first read the longline for the show I thought that there was no way to sustain this premise over eight episodes, but you proved me wrong. Did you have any concerns that maybe the joke would wear itself out before you started writing, or did you have a clear idea of how you would arc it out from the moment you conceived it?
Yacenda: I think the reason we were confident in the idea was that we weren't just coming at it to make fun of true- crime documentaries. I think that's when it would've gotten really old. But I think we are, as a culture — especially now — infatuated with the idea of injustice and the justice system and whether or not somebody's falsely accused, and we fancy ourselves the type of person that can watch something and be the judge and the jury and figure out a crime. So if we really just used what was so good about the documentaries that we love, I think. It's obviously a risk, but the hope was that you would really care, you would really analyze the prank call records, and you would really analyze the ball hair discrepancy and all of these things. The actual mystery is what's driving the show.
Beneath the satire, the show is really just an examination of high school life and the everyday microaggressions that teenagers have to deal with — why was it so important to you to keep the writing grounded in that reality, rather than going full farce? Yacenda: I think mainly [because] it's funny .. Instagram videos and Snapchats and all of the social media. And if we went in also trying to make those Snapchats as funny as possible, that would’ve kind of been a joke on a joke. But by making it very real and analyzing this as case data the way you would the call records of Adnan Syed in Serial — but they're really the way modern high schoolers talk — I think we could do something that's honest and at the same time the funniest version of it.

Perrault: And if you think about it, there aren't many characters on the show who are funny in their own right. It's mostly fairly believable kids in a ridiculous situation. The case is ridiculous but Peter and Sam are believable high school sophomores.
